Proposed codes: AC9EFLE02, AC9EFLE04, AC9EFLY09, AC9EFLY10, AC9EFLY11, AC9EFLY13.
Goal: Hear /f/ at the end of selected spoken words, use final ff in one sound box and blend off/puff/cuff/cliff/sniff.
Prepare: adult sound-play B and story A, ff tile, two- to four-phoneme boxes, five word cards. No actual sniffing, puffing or cliff prop is needed.
- Retrieve · 3 min. Reblend ring, bell, hiss, has from Weeks 13–14. Ask how many sounds ng, ll, ss write in those words. Record one exact prior link needing review.
- Oral pairs · 4 min. Read adult sound-play B twice with all print hidden. Ask “Which two spoken words rhyme: puff/cuff or puff/sniff?” Accept a chosen AAC or pointing route. Say this is sound play, not an instruction to sniff or blow.
- Model ff · 5 min. Hide puff; say /p/ /ʌ/ /f/ into three counters. Reveal p u ff, placing ff in one final box. “Two letters at this ending write one /f/ sound here. We are checking this selected short-vowel set, not every /f/ ending.”
- Guide and try · 7 min. Guide cuff /k/ /ʌ/ /f/ and off /ɒ/ /f/; invite independent cliff /k/ /l/ /ɪ/ /f/ and sniff /s/ /n/ /ɪ/ /f/. Touch adjacent starting consonants separately. Explain cuff and cliff after blending, without a picture-first guess.
- Meaning from adult story · 4 min. Read Nell's Turn Cue aloud. Ask “What changed after Sam started early? What is still just an invented story?” The raised cue and gap changed; this is fiction, not the class's actual score. Keep the four/six pulse count in the separate music/maths work.
- Exit check · 2 min. Show sniff in a new position. Ask for its four sounds and independent blend; expect final ff as one /f/. Record exact response and whether adjacent /s/ /n/ were separated.
Access routes: joined large/tactile ff tile, raised counters, quiet/private blend, adult live read or locally made recording with transcript, AAC/sign/pointing/typing for sound choice and meaning. No loud sound, singing, breath action or real cliff experience is required.
